Meetings Are A Skill You Can Master, And Steve Jobs Taught Me How This is our second excerpt from Insanely Simple: The Obsession That Drives Apple’s Success by Ken Segall, a close collaborator with Jobs for over a decade.

presents Future of Retail Report 2012 Making Innovation a Natural Act In the creative economy, innovation is more important than ever. Innovation is the only insurance against irrelevance. It’s the only antidote to margin-crushing competition, the only hope for out-performing a dismal economy, and the only way to truly amaze your customers. Innovation—in operations, products, business models and ecosystems—isn’t merely a competitive advantage, it’s the competitive advantage. We all get it: innovation is the lifeblood of every organization. Fact is, most companies aren’t very good at game-changing innovation. For industry incumbents, the problem isn’t a lack of resources or a shortage of human creativity, but a dearth of pro-innovation values, processes and practices—and when innovation programs do get launched, like an internal venture fund or an idea wiki, they tend to either be organizationally isolated or easily marginalized. Remember, the disciplines of management were invented, a hundred and more years ago, to drive variety out of organizations.

Veduca | Assuntos PF Week seleciona lugares para comer em SP com até R$ 15 - Terra Brasil Foto: PF Week / Divulgação Você escolhe um restaurante, desembolsa um dinheiro no vallet, se confunde com as opções de talheres em cima da mesa, pede uma carne que ocupa apenas 20% do prato e se depara com uma conta que serve como pontapé para a má digestão. A ideia do PF Week é exatamente essa, só que ao contrário. Criado pelos publicitários Marcelo Bruzessi e Fernando Calvache, o Tumblr tem apenas dois meses e ficou famoso por dar notas aos restaurantes da capital paulista em busca do melhor prato-feito por até R$ 15 - com bebida inclusa. De volta à infância em uma mordida: confira receitas deliciosas da vovó Hambúrguer: veja lugares para provar em SP A ideia surgiu durante o Restaurante Week, que sugere uma experiência gastronômica por um preço menos salgado – mas não tão acessível – em restaurantes de São Paulo. Como muita gente, os dois também torciam o nariz ao passar em frente a um restaurante “especialista” em PF, mas resolveram encarar a experiência. publicidade Terra
